History

19th Century

In 1857, the San Francisco Board of Education created the San Francisco Weekly Normal School,^[14][15] also known as the Minns' Evening Normal School.^[16] In 1862, it became the California State Normal School, the first postsecondary institution established by the state.^[15] Only six students were enrolled on its first day. By 1866, enrollment had increased to 384.^[17]

In 1867, the principal of Girls' High School and Normal School, Ellis Holmes, realized that the California State Normal School was not meeting the demand for teachers. The city approved the addition of a new year-long teacher-training program to his high school's curriculum, for girls who wanted to pursue a career in education. This program is what would eventually become San Francisco State University. When the California State Normal School was moved to San José in 1871, Girls' High became the only publicly-supported teacher-training institution.^[17]

In 1895, the teaching program was split from the school and became San Francisco City Normal School.^[17] Due to a lack of funding, the school closed in 1898.^[14] A group of teachers, students, and supporters pressured the California State Legislature to convert it into a state-funded institution.^[17]

On March 22, 1899,^[18] the California State Legislature approved the creation of the San Francisco State Normal School, with an appropriation of $10,000. Frederic Lister Burk was appointed as the first president and chose the school's motto, Experientia Docet.^[19] The school rented^[17] space in a building on Powell Street between Clay and Sacramento Streets and 31 women were enrolled in the first year.^[20][21]
